Navigating the Site - Session Evaluations:

The evaluations website will open to the Directions page. Please be sure to read this information before entering your evaluation responses. Then click the Continue button.

The Registered Events page will list the 12th Annual Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute and include 4 buttons:

Post Final Credits & Create Certificate– this button will be greyed-out until you have completed the Overall Evaluation

Start by clicking the Session Evaluation button. This will open the list of days that are available for you to evaluate based on your conference registration. If you believe there is an error, please visit the APNA registration desk for help:

Click on the appropriate day to see a listing of the sessions available to evaluate for each time block.

Evaluations are organized in the order of the program schedule.

Locate the session for which you’d like to enter responses by either the session ID # or the title. Click on the Evaluate button next to it. The evaluation pages look like this:

The objectives and evaluation questions for each session are listed in the program book behind each day tab.

Remember, you can mark your responses in your program book and then enter them into the site later – either in your hotel room or at home after the conference.

The rating scale used for the online evaluations is also listed on each page in your program book for reference.

You’ll also rate the speaker(s) for the session regarding their presentation skills for the content presented and whether or not you’d recommend him/her to a colleague. Below that section, you’ll have the opportunity to indicate the number of contact hours you should receive based on your attendance of the session. If you were present for the entire session, you’ll select the largest number of contact hours available.

In the example below, this session is worth up to .75 contact hours. However, if you happened to be 15 minutes late or left 15 minutes early, you would choose the .50 contact hours option.

Be sure to hit Save & Continueat the end or your responses will not be saved. This is very important!

Once you hit Save & Continue, you’ll return back to the listing of sessions for that day. There is an “Edit” button and a “Reset” button next to the session you have just evaluate

Note that at the bottom of this page, you’ll see the buttons “Return to the list of days” and “Return to Welcome/Instructions Page”.

“Return to the list of days” will take you back to the page where you can access the evaluations for a different day.

“Return to Welcome/Instructions Page” will take you back to the very beginning so that you can review any of the directions listed there.
